It is once again time to repost this classic.

It doesn't work both ways either; when Corbyn dies we won't get Gyles Brandreth going 'we didn't agree on many things but he was a laugh all the same'. Instead it'll be all 'he was a divisive figure etc.'

This promotional PSYCHO pre-release marketing photo (designed to satisfy demand and mislead from the film’s actual plot) always makes me smile.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Today, from 2.30, on BBC Radio Wales with Justine - reviews of Moana, Evil Dead Burn & The Furious, and my 3 of the best films with 5 letter titles. Joiwch.

🚨 BREAKING: Jürgen Klopp is reportedly leading growing criticism of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with calls for accountability over what many critics describe as one of the most controversial World Cups in recent memory. "This is our sport, not theirs," Klopp said.

If that is not the truth, then all of these individuals lacking courage will face consequences in the next election.

"Widow's Bay" has received 19 Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Series, Best Lead Actor for Matthew Rhys, and nods for supporting players Stephen Root, Kate O'Flynn, Dale Dickey, Hamish Linklater, and Betty Gilpin.

Laila Cunningham is just awful. Nothing about this is appealing

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Referring to Palestine, Egyptian football coach Hossam Hassan: "In the country where kids are being killed, they wear the jerseys of Argentina, Barcelona, City, Real Madrid. These kids love you and they love football. But they are being killed and you're still silent." Preach.

The Clacton by election is proper, old fashioned and very British farce. It's like a classic Ealing Comedy. And it's made all the funnier by the humourless po faced response from the Reform lot who are utterly devoid of a sense of humour. Look at this from one man joy zapper Lee Anderson.

In amidst of all the ridicule, the corruption, the dishonesty and deception, let’s not forget that Farage is a vicious, far-right racist.

If it was a horse, you'd have shot it a year ago. FFS.

I think it's only fair we keep pushing this story about the money as well, as it means Tice will also retreat, leaving only Pochin, Jenrick, and *shudders* Anderson to conduct damage limitation in the media, which is - frankly - too hilarious an opportunity to pass up.

Virgin Media fined £28m for repeatedly preventing customers from cancelling contracts. "Deliberate call-dropping" tactics, customers put on hold "for no reason". Commission scheme "effectively encouraged" and rewarded abuses. No exec fined/charged for carefully designed scam to fleece customers.

I mean credit where credit is due: "If he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him" is top tier posting

American women won the World Cup 4 times....

Alan Shearer: "When the referee goes back to VAR for Egypts goal & cancels it due to an interference at the start of play, but doesn't go back to VAR for Agentina's winning goal despite 2 interferences at the start of play... then we're watching a "theatre" not a football match.

Just 1 hour later, the BBC chief political editor was proved to be 100% wrong. Fire him!

Streisand Effect

I hope the BBC are fact checking everything and will be taking as much time to counter it as they've gifted him with the free advert.

Only someone with a heart of stone wouldn't laugh at the demise of Jenrick's political gambit... playing out here in real time

Making fun of Taco always hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂 #belgium #fifa

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Between extreme radiation levels and temperatures, there are no suitable planet within our reach. Better concentrate on what we have.

I agree 👍🏼 Do you? #BookSky

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

It feels like if you resign from a post and immediately announce your decision to apply for that post your resignation shouldn’t be accepted in the first place.

The Cape Verde national football team given a heroes' welcome back in Praia after their historic run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Cape Verde became the smallest nation by population to ever reach the knockout stage of the tournament, all without having a single yellow card rescinded. #worldcup

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

Obviously I’m not a fan of Rupert Lowe but you do have to respect the sick burns he’s delivered today….

Exciting for Clacton voters that they're going to get to see their MP again for the first time since they last elected him.

“That was a Pity Political Broadcast on behalf of some whiny bitch.”

The walls are closing in around the Reform leader and some of Nigel Farage's allies now believe he could soon be heading for the door www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-scanda...

Today, from 2.30, on BBC Radio Wales with Eleri - reviews of Minions and Monsters, The Invite & Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie; and my 3 of the best films with 'something' AND 'something' titles (Y'know, like Minions AND Monsters). Joiwch.

"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan

He's always been this person. He's just got better at it. A shallow little man driven entirely by envy and greed.

Physical books. You own them. They don't require updates. They don't surveil you or collect and sell your data. They are a genuinely safe hallucinogen that leaves you smarter and more empathetic and with a longer attention span the more you use them. Free from the library. What's not to like?

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

This is the new talking point from Reform supporters over on X. In other news, Nigel Farage has yet to hold a single in-person MP surgery in his constituency in the almost two years since he was elected

I think we just passed oops.

If you think £5 million could influence my policies, just imagine what £24m would do. In unrelated news, Reform will scrap net zero and drill baby drill! www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

There's a reason why Nigel Farage has either been in hiding, or incredibly irritable, over these past few weeks. He knows he's in trouble

Top Andy Burnham pick advised Thames Water creditors. Advised the likes of Glencore, Google and Amazon. Big business will be pleased with political lobbyists parachuted as gatekeepers. Cognitive capture. Any chance of a trade union leader being parachuted into the inner spaces? archive.ph/b8F4J
